THE DODGE CITY GAS AND
MINING COMPANY.

Last Wednesday evening there was a
meeting of the citizens of Dodge City, at
the real estate office of Finlay & Milton,
to discuss the feasibility of organizing a
joint-stock company, for the purpose of
boring for natural gas, artisan water, salt,
coal, etc, all of which we believe to be
in the bowels of the earth, beneath u.s.
The finding of any one of these would be
the means of helping to make our city.
After considerable discussion the meet
ing was called to order with G. w. Hoov-
er in the chair, and w F. Pitillon as secre-
tary.
j. II. Finlay moved that the company
should be called the Dodge City Natural
Gas and Mining Company, Carried.
1t was then moved by B. F. Milton,
that the capital stock of this company be
one thousand shares of $1,000 each Car
ried.
On motion of G. A. Milton. the num-
Der of directors was limited to nine.
A. Gluck moved that the chair appoint
a committee of five stockholders to select
nine members of the company as board
of directors.
The following gentlemen were appoint
ed as committee H. Juneau, J. Collar.
J. Ii. Crawford, James Langton and j.
II. Finlay.
The committee then made their report
of the following named members they
had chosen J. II. Finlay, W. c. Shinn,
n Healy, A. Gluck, j. S. NJ. White, Ed
Weibenson w. T. Petition, James Lang
ton and J. Collar.
On motion of B. f. Milton, the report
of the committee was adopted.
The meeting then adjourned
The capital stock of this company is
$4,000, of which sum 50 900 was raised
at the meeting. Since that time a large
part of the stock has been subscribed
and more enthusiasm prevails over this
scheme than has been manifest for long
time, among the leading business men.
Every one believes this to be move in
the right direction We feel confident
that great good will result from this to
the city Let the work progress rapidly.

HORNER DIES OF STARVA-

Sunday mornings dispatches announc-

of the Peabody Silk Station, at Kan
sas City, Mo-, the night previous, from
privation and want
This mans early death is the direct
result OF the action of the Silk Commits

ton just at the opening of winter. The
justice of his removal is shrouded in
doubt Mr.. Horner had taken every
step in his power to have full investi-
cation of this, and other acts of the
board, but the laws delay was too
much for him and he yielded up his life
for the want of nourishing food.--Ex.

SANTA CLAUS AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

SANTA CLAUS AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
The members of the Baptist Sunday
school having made preparations to cele-
brate Christmas at their church, the re-
suit was manifested by the gathering of
an audience that comfortably filled the
church at an early hour. There was a
happy and eXpectant look upon the faces
of all, especially the children. After the
usual preleminaries, the exercises were
opened by an address by Rev. j. E. Greg
orv, who welcomed all to the evening S
entertainment, wished all happy and mer-
nv Christmas, and said that of all times,
this was the time rejoicing. The pro-
gram was entertaining and all passed a
pleasant evening. The attractive feature
of the evening was hundred or more
well filled stockings that decorated the
arch way of the church, and made the
children realize that Santa was not far
away, and finally when he did make his
appearance, they went wild with joy.
NOTES.
Santa Claus was just as good as the
children wanted him to be.
He had the largest stocking, it looked
to be bursting with goodies, and after all
contained only box of matches.
Each one brought a potatoe as an adj
mission fee.
The Professor at Home by quar-
tette was one of the humorous features OF
the evening.
After the exercises the audience re-
manned to enjoy social hour, and finally
all retired to their various homes to make
the final preparation for the new born
day, the greatest in the world S history.

CHRISTMAS EVE AT THE NJ E. CHURRH.
The services at the NJ. E. church were
largely attended, and very interesting
The usual tree was omitted, and in its
place large manager was erected into
which many placed gifts for the poor.
This new departure is to be commanded
for no more fitting time or place could be
chosen to evidence the fact that christians
are both self-sacriticing and charitable.
The literary exercises were first class,
and do credit to the little ones and their
teachers. many of the pieces were rem
dered with the grace and ease of old pro-
fessionals Little Arthur Evans took the
house with his Ten little Toes" which
was cheered to the echo, and repeated by
request. A large display of well filled
next occupied the attention Of
the little ones who well each remembered
by Santa Claus, and went home rejoicing.
Let us continue to remember the little
ones, the poor who are among US, and
the precepts of the Great Teacher until
we are permitted to meet again on sim
ular occasion. or live in a land where
there are no miseries to relieve, and no
sins to be forgiven.

AN EXPLANATION.

Sunday evening last a union meeting
was held az the Presbyterian church. The
Baptist church was not represented but
conducted its own services as usual. The
pastor, Of course, was in his pulpit The
reason for this is the substance of this eX-
PLANTATION.
The meeting referred to was the meet
ing of the County Bible Society-auXil-
cary to the American Bible Society, of
which the Baptists Of America were form
erly enthusiastic supporters. In 1888, at
large meeting held at Saratoga, the
Baptists withdrew from it and placed their
Bible-work in the hands of the American
Baptist Publication Society
To outline the cause of this separation
would involve history, the full partic-
ulars of which are not now at hand and
which would be too extensive for present
publication. Suffice it to say that it be-
gan with the snubbing received from the
Bible Society when ii refused to put in
print DR.. Judson's Burman Bible, trans
lation the accuracy of which has not
been questioned.
The reason for such refusal was that
the word "baptize'' and baptism were
translated by Burman words meaning
''immerse' and immersion thus max
ing it favor the Baptist view of the ordi-
nance of baptism This refusal forced
Baptists to be disloyal to Christ and their
convictions or set up an independent
Bible-work in Burmah OF course they
chose the latter and printed and dis
tributed Judson's Bible from their own
press. Nor would they have complained
but for the fact that the same Society had
then in print Luther's German Bible, and
Swedish version, identical with that
of Judson, so far as the Objectionable
words are concerned. which it was giving
to the Germans and Sweeds by the
thousands. Baptists thought then and
think now that they had been snubbed. |
Still for fifty years or more they remain
ed in the Society until 1883, when re-
peated affronts became unbearable At
that time they formally withdrew as
above stated. The American Baptist
Publication Society is now pushing its
Bible-work vigorously.
The Pastor of the Baptist church, when
invited to take part in this meeting re-
piled that in view of the past and the &C
ton of his brethren lie could not do so
personally The date of the meeting was
never mentioned to him. Nor did his peo-
pie know Of it until the notice was given
in the papers. That notice, the pastor
had not caught sight Of until his atten
ton was called to it Sunday evening last
Had we known the date and positive APP
pointment of the meeting, the church as
a body would have considered the mat
ter.
The church is not by any means bound
by the action of the Saratoga meeting,
nor by the stand their pastor has taken
Already they have contributed largely to
their own Bible-work and as soon as ne
cessary arrangements can be completed
will open in Dodge City Depository of
the American Baptist Publication Society. .
They must do Bible-work.
We are very sorry for all this, but we ,
do not see how we could have done any
thing else honorably.

CHRISTMAS EVE AT THE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH.

CHURCH.
A full list of the happy children of the
Sabbath School belonginf to this church,
with a fine audience of their friends
were early in attendance. We think none
forgot the admission fee, huge potato
each, for the poor, and the return OF
Christmas this year was made as mach
a time of gift making as, gift receiving.
But the loaded stockings, filled with in
expensive, but pleasant meats for the lit
tie ones, were hung in tempting array,
between beautiful notices. while a
charming program was carried out by
the children. Each recitation and song
was gem in its place. The following
names appear in the order of exercises
shown us by j. d. Roy the faithful super
intendent, viz Jessie Gaddis, Minnie and
Gertie Thayer, Mary Cherrihgton, .Clara
Jones, Allen Webster, Mary Shaw, Min
ME Wade. Edith Soper, and even little
Annie Moore, along with which were
rendered several pleasant songs by the
Sunday School choir.
